Loading manual push wheel chair.I put an S hook up inside the interior metal trim of 84 Dodge Van that meets ceiling of van,I hooked the hoist to it,with the wheel chairs big wheels touching bumper of van I put a rope at lower front of wheel chair,then with the push handles resting on the bed of van I started to wench it up to bed of van. No problem.This is good for me because I have osteo arthritis in my lower spine that has drastically limited things I can lift and being 68 years old does not help either. Fantastic product and the price is good also.

Used this hoist to lift my 5th wheel slider hitch out of the bed of the truck. Hitch weighs approx 200lbs. The hoist worked great and I didn't worry about dragging out of the truck or straining by back.

I brought this item to lift my zero turn mower to sharpen and change the blades. I was sceptic about buying it because the weight capacity of my mower was just about the 500 pound limit. I purchased it and it works just as I need it too. The most impressive thing about it is the ease of lowering it back down. Rasing is not any problem either.

Used this hoist to lift my 85 lb heater up to the 10 ft ceiling in my shop. Since I was installing the unit by myself I had some reservations. Using straps I lifted the unit up into place without a problem. I know I'll find many uses for this hoist. Next project will be using the hoist to lift my ceiling dust collection into place. I wish the chain was longer but I start my lift from my table saw and that works.

This is a great second hand when working alone. I have used it along with a chain fall to raise and lower motors mounted at an angle 6 feet off the floor weighing 150#. My co-workers have also used it too, for alignning frame work for welding to holding lovers open on a 15'x 15'ventilating duct.

I bought this small hoist to remove the 60HP four stroke outboard motor from my fishing boat. I couldn't be more pleased with how well it worked!The outboard weighs approximately 260 pounds, so the lift was well within the capacity of this 1/4 ton hoist. It lifted the motor with very minimal effort. When it came time to reinstall the motor, I was very pleased with the precision available from this hoist to accurately spot the load allowing me to line up the fasteners with ease.Having this hoist allowed me to do the work myself, saving me hundreds from what I was quoted at the marina.

I bought two of these for a one man lift job for a tonneau cover on a truck. Worked perfectly lifting the cover at diagonal corners to eye hooks on the garage rafters above. Once up, I tied the other two corners with rope. Easy as pie. The hoists seem sturdy and well made.

500# is not much, but it is all the difference in the world when working in tight spaces where 2 people wont fit.

I'm a field service tech for a concrete paving company. I use this for raising and lowering Hydraulic pumps and electric motors (200-400#) where you can't get a crane, come-along or even a bigger hoist in place, let alone a second person to help lift and hold in position while you line up input shafts and mounting points. Also great for holding bundles of cables and Hydraulic hoses out of the way.

I use this to raise and nower the 14:00x20 inch tires on my big army truck. Those tires weigh about 300lbs. You can feel the winch is close to it's limits dealing with those are a regular basis. Especialy when they bounce coming down. The winch has never failed but if you are going to be lifting close to the 500lb level all the taime but the 3/4ton. I would not use this to pull a car motor for instance. That said this things is tiny and compact in a way that the 3/4 is not.
